Why vertical progression is poorly implemented

[Zumi]

Amazing for THF/NIN/RNG Weapon skills until lvl 75, when the Aurora Boots beat them out with +5 stats.

Back in the day they did offer you an upgrade for WS gear for thf and other dd jobs in Sky.



Gear from Rhapsodies zone, the game has come so far since then. When you get level 99 you should have way better gear then level 7 boots. SE did do this eventually. Most of the end game gear now has so many stats on it, that it becomes overly complex, do people want stats like this from the current FFXI expansion in FFXIV?
